Thank you indie hackers for helping us become #1 Product Of The Day! πŸš€

Thanks to everyone from the community, who supported us through @harshvijay's last post! It means a lot to both of us!

ruttl Product Hunt statistics

ruttl not only managed to become the #1 Product of the day, but also the #1 Product of the week. As for the stats, here's what we got out of it -

βœ… Website Traffic - 2000+ new visitors
βœ… Free Signup - 193
βœ… Paid Subscriptions - 4 (Predicting another 6 will buy in the coming days, considering our sales cycle)

I don't think it's right for us to say that we achieved this. It was with the help of our supporters, that got us here. which emphasizes the importance of network and community!

In case someone is launching in the coming days, I wanted to share the things that we did for our launch. These are all the things that I myself did, so it can act as a checklist for you -

  1. Create bunch of social media graphics and promote them during the launch week through company handles.
  2. If you have email list, keep a email sequence handy (or better scheduled) for them. Preparing content early can save you from lot of last minute confusions.
  3. Made a list of network in our first circle, who can support us
  4. Utilize the embedded badges Product Hunt gives you. It creates good social proof on the website.
  5. Add a top banner to your website, so that you can direct website traffic to your PH launch page.
  6. Communities, communities and communities! This will become a huge factor if you can get help from different groups of people. Our largest group of supporters came through indiehackers. Apart from that, I also tried gaining momentum through fb groups, LinkedIn groups and Polywork.

I've been replying to PH comments since last 24 hours. Over 233 comments have coming on our page. That's a heck lot of good feedback for us :P

Once this slows down, in the coming 2 days, Harsh and I are planning to share a detailed post on every single learning that we got through this launch for all of you!*

Stay tuned for it!

Love,
Siddhita πŸ’“
